01 Henry Krank's oiled patches - good datum - good quality material, but expensive.
02 Ox-Yoke oiled patches - very oily!
10 Ox-Yoke Wonderlube 1000+ - loading was slightly harder, swabs not cleaning thoroughly. Will retry using different 'wetting' procedure.
03 Ballistol:water 1:1 - seems to work well, expensive though, hard to get Ballistol [only on eBay].
17 Ballistol:water 1:2 - works better, easy loading.
13 Ballistol:water 1:3 - loading still very easy but group seemed to open up.
04 Tallow:Olive Oil 2:1 - far too stiff for pistol patches, group opened up.
05 Tallow:Olive Oil 1:2 - stiffens up too much after time BUT easy to clean afterwards! Perhaps a summer lube?
08 Tallow:Olive Oil 1:4 - much softer than [05] and melts by body heat. Will try wetter mix [09]
09 Tallow:Olive Oil 1:6 - liquid even when colder weather, splatters when loading [don't overwet patches], very dirty swabs so cleaning easily, good scores/grouping though. (March 2014) Less wetting produces much better results and a tighter group. Recommended.06 Beeswax:Olive Oil 1:2 - too stiff for pistol patches. Try more olive oil [19].
19 Beeswax:Olive Oil 1:4 - TBA.
07 Beeswax:Lanolin:Neatsfoot Oil 2:1:2 - too stiff, needs more oil to loosen it up [18].
18 Beeswax:Lanolin:Neatsfoot Oil 2:1:3 - TBA.
11 Aqueous cream:Water 1:1 - loading was very easy, patches were not being completely lubed though - try wetter mix [12].
12 Aqueous cream:Water 2:3 - wetter version of [11]. TBA.
15 Tallow:Beeswax 1:2 - far too stiff for pistol patches, less beeswax needed.
20 Tallow:Beeswax 1:1 - TBA.
21 Tallow:Beeswax 3:1 - TBA. [Rifle lube? Massachusetts Arms Co.].
22 Tallow:Beeswax 4:1 - TBA. [Rifle lube? Marlin Firearms Co.].
16 Tallow:Beeswax:Olive Oil 1:1:1 - TBA [NZ Pistol lube].
24 Tallow:Beeswax:Olive Oil:Ballistol - 5:10:tablespoon:teaspoon - TBA.
14 Tallow:Beeswax:Paraffin 2:1:2 by weight - TBA.
23 Olive Oil - Too wet. Needs tallow, lanolin or beeswax to stiffen it up.
